After 14 years in California I've not yet made it to Chez Pannise (reportedly the best restaurant in the Bay area). But an ex-CP chef, Russell Moore now has his own place, Camino.
The menu is brief-ish, but very good.
Pavey started with salad (hazelnuts, beets, zucchini), and continued with Rib-eye and short rib. I started with Pig's head (i.e pork cheeks, cooked in light bread-crumbs) and rabbit terrine, then had something (for the life of me I can't remember what) with garbanzo beans and nettles.
We divided the Shaker lemon tart and Almond cake with roasted cherries and almond milk between us and our delightful hosts, Sue and Jen.
A laid back, comfortable, family vibe even when you're family lives 5,000 miles away.
